02 Oct, 2021

She entered screaming and asking for help in the supermarket, the Lidl in via Molise in the Po 'Bandino area. In her arms, the bloody body of her son of just 2 years of age which she then placed on the conveyor belt of a stationary box. A horrible scene that happened on Friday afternoon shortly after 3 pm in Cittą della Pieve (Perugia), in front of the eyes of the employees and customers of the supermarket, simply terrified.

Stop the mother

The intervention of the carabinieri and the 118 operators on the spot was immediate: the latter could not help but ascertain the death of the child. The mother was confused and was taken to the barracks by the military for questioning. She is a 44-year-old of Hungarian origin, resident in Rieti and married to a compatriot who lives in Hungary. For a few days she had been in Chiusi (Siena) where she had already lived a few years ago, now a guest - she and her son - at a friend's house. To the investigators, right from the start, he would have provided different versions of the incident, with some elements contradicting each other and others deemed not very credible.

Murder hypothesis

The little body of the little one - his name was Alex Juhasz, as reported by Il Corriere della Sera - had deep stab wounds in the abdomen and chest. Investigations by the Arma Pievese and Perugia are underway to reconstruct the incident and the first - perhaps the only - hypothesis is that of the murder. Not far from the supermarket, on the edge of a field on the opposite side of the road, a closed stroller with traces of blood was found, placed under seizure.

The abandoned house

A nearby building, a former Enel power plant in ruins and in a state of neglect, also ended up under the investigators' lens, the subject of long and in-depth surveys by the carabinieri who found numerous blood traces nearby. This would be the place where the horrible murder took place and where - among the weeds and the entrance gate - a knife was found, probably the weapon with which the child was fatally wounded. And among the witnesses there are those who would have seen the 44-year-old come out of the area of ​​the former disused plant, with the baby in her arms and before reaching the supermarket: another element under consideration by those who investigate. On the spot, in the late afternoon of Friday, the magistrate on duty, Manuela Comodi of the prosecutor of the Republic of Perugia, and the coroner Laura Panata also brought. The Pievese community, and beyond, was deeply shaken by a drama that leaves you speechless.

The note from the prosecutor of Perugia

Late on Friday evening, at 11.36 pm, the Perugia prosecutor's office issued a note that we report below: "Today afternoon, around 3.30 pm in the locality of Po 'Bandino, municipality of Cittą della Pieve, a 44-year-old of Hungarian nationality, homeless, she entered a supermarket asking for help for her two-year-old son, evidently in great suffering, placing the little body of the little one - who had numerous cut wounds in the chest - on the conveyor belt counts goods from a cash register. The 118 rescuers, who arrived shortly after, tried in vain to resuscitate the baby, whose death was ascertained at 3.50 pm. The investigations immediately launched by the carabinieri of Perugia and Cittą della Pieve are aimed at reconstructing the movements of women and children, to identify the places where they went and therefore ascertain the possible involvement of third parties. At the moment, the woman is in the barracks to be questioned by the magistrate on duty of the Perugia prosecutor's office, in the person of Dr. Manuela Comodi ».

The arrest is triggered: the woman in prison

At the end of the long interrogation broken by numerous pauses, during which no confession emerged regarding the responsibility of the terrible murder, Alex's mother was subjected by the judicial authorities to the arrest of a person suspected of crime. During the night she was therefore transferred to the women's section of the Perugia Capanne prison. At the moment, no liability would have been assumed and there would be no suspicions against third parties. But the investigation is in full swing and the results of the scientific investigations are also awaited.
